Are you qualified to be a police officer?

Everyone looks at each other, but no one speaks.

Seeing everyone silent, Director Lu becomes even more angry,

"What? Are you guys going to keep silent like this forever?"

Seeing Director Lu getting angry, a colleague looks around and says cautiously,

"Director Lu, the scene was too far away from the rest of us at the time, and we really didn't know what happened exactly. We only heard two gunshots."

"Who saw it clearly?"

Everyone looks at Chen and Yang, who both bow their heads and say nothing. Director Lu understands the situation and waves his hand and says,

"Chen and Yang stay here, and the others go out now."

Everyone leaves, and only three people are left in the meeting room. Director Lu gets silent for a while and asks,

"I just want to know if Alice did it on purpose."

The two look at him, and no one speaks. Then Director Lu knows the real answer from their attitudes since he also knows Alice's situation.

After a long silence, Director Lu speaks,

""Is there any room for easing this matter?"

Chen looks up at him and knows what he meant. Director Lu just wants to ask if it could be completely classified as an accidental injury. After all, if it was intentional, it would be a disaster for the entire police station.

Crime is not scary, what is really scary is the abuse of law enforcement power.

Chen thinks for a while and says slowly,

"Probably not. It is difficult since there is anyone else at the scene."

"Who?"

"The victim."

"Did she see it?"

"No, but she thinks that there is basically no possibility of accidental injury in that situation."

Director Lu breathes a sigh of relief,

"Well, it's okay. Let's say that the gun malfunctioned and caused the accidental injury. All subsequent expenses will be borne by us. After Alex wakes up, we will discuss compensation together and make sure he doesn't pursue it later. As for Alice, we just deal with her whatever we are supposed to do."

Chen nods. Although he knows that this is not right, things in the world cannot be measured by right or wrong easily and simply. When there are two evils, choose the lesser of two evils.

In this way, Alice will be punished and the police station will not lose credibility.

If the law must be strictly enforced, it will cause the police to lose credibility, and the damage will be greater.

Director Lu nods, stands up and leaves. When he comes to the door and sees Alice standing at the door, he frowns and shows disgust.

Alice glances at him and says,

"Director Lu, all the responsibility is mine. I accept the punishment and I..."

"Shut up!" Director Lu interrupts her immediately, and then says in a disgusted tone, "I don't want to hear your voice anymore. If you really want to say something, go and talk to your real Director Tang, not to me."

Then he turns and leaves, saying, "Are you qualified to be a police officer?"

Chen and Yang glance at Alice and say nothing.

Alice stands there in a daze. She knows that she has done something wrong and she regrets it, but she also knows that it is useless now.

She stands there for a long time before leaving. When she is passed by her colleagues, everyone sees her with disgust. Even if they knew the inside story, they couldn't stop disgusting her because her choice tarnished their beliefs.

Alice walks out of the police station in a daze, and Hu is waiting for her at the door outside. Seeing her come out, Hu walks up, thinks for a while and says,

"I actually know the reason, I am able to understand your choice at that time, but I will never do this, because I know I am a policeman. I won't say anything extra and it's time for me to leave now. It's just a pity that the case has not been solved yet."

At this time, Yang rans to Alice and hesitates before saying,

"Can I ask you a question?"

Alice is silent for a while and whispers, "What?"

"How can you be sure that the murderer must be Alex? Aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"

Alice gets silent again, and continues being silent for a long time,

"Intuition, since we began to suspect Alex, all these cases have been inextricably linked to him. If he was just an ordinary person, would it be like this? Definitely not.

Jasmin, Tang, the guard Li, Tom, Simon, two gangsters Florian and Wang, as you can see, all these people are related to Alex, but all of them are dead.

Oh, now there is one more Zhen, he is also dead.

Is this a coincidence? One person is a coincidence, what about two people? Three people? Is it all a coincidence? Do you really believe it?"

Alice becomes more and more excited as she speaks, because only in this way could she alleviate her inner guilt, and only in this way could she not regret it so much.

Yang looks at her and says, "But we have no evidence at all."

This sentence seems to open the valve of Alice's emotions, and she shouts hysterically,

"I know! I know there is no evidence at all! What if he is really flawless? Let him get away with it? Continue to commit crimes? What about the victims?"

Yang looks at her and says, "You have been totally possessed."

He turns and leaves. He knows that Alice in this state is no longer the Alice he knew.

…

Alex has a dream. In the dream, he returns to the time before he traveled through time and space and his life gets peaceful again. There is no murder case, no diary, and no police watching him.

"Awesome."

Every day, he goes to work complaining, and then waits until the end of the get off work. When he is hungry, he would have a small barbecue and drink a few bottles of beer. Although it is very boring, his life is very comfortable.

Just as he is immersed in this comfortable scene, the scene in the dream suddenly changes. He is holding a wrench in his hand, and there are corpses lying in front of him. He wakes up suddenly and gasps.

"Poor Son! You wake up! You finally wake up. I have been scared to death these days."

Alex hears the crying beside his ear and turns to look at his crying mother next to him. He knows that he has returned to this world again, which makes him uneasy and tired in the heart.

In his mind, there is still a picture of the scene before he traveled through time in his dream. Before he traveled through time, he always complained that life was boring, he was not handsome, he had no money, and he was not happy.

Now that he has traveled through time, he has become rich and handsome. Isn't this the life he always wanted before he traveled through time? But he didn't like it here at all. He is eager to go back to the time before he traveled through time, to live a peaceful life, and He truly likes that kind of peace.

"Alex! What's wrong with you? Speak something please! Don't scare your mother!"

Alex comes back to his senses and smiles at his mother.

"It's okay, and I'm much better right now."

His mother nods and says happily, "Okay, okay, it is really good if you feel much better. So, you lie here first, I'll call a doctor."

Alex nods and looks at his mother's back as she leaves. This time he was shot and walked through the gates of hell, which made him completely change his mind. He decides not to care about anything, diaries, victims' families, he will not care about anything at all. And he wants to live his own life, as long as he could control the original owner.

Even if he couldn't control the original one, he doesn't plan to care, so let it be.

After a while, the doctor comes, asks Alex a few questions, and checks the wound again. He says that Alex would be healed after a period of rest, and there would be no sequelae.

The mother gets very happy to hear the doctor say this, and Alex is also very happy.

After the doctor leaves, the two chats for a few more words, mostly words of concern from the mother.

In the evening, Director Lu brings a few policemen to visit, including Chen and Yang.

The mother frowns when she sees them, and gets very unhappy. She opens her mouth to chase them away, but is stopped by Alex. It is a matter of time, and he motions for the mother to go out first.

The mother looks at him with some concern, and Alex says that he is fine, and the mother goes out then.

After his mother leaves, Director Lu steps forward and says,

"I am the chief of the Beijing City Police Department. This time, due to the mistakes made by our police officers, you were injured. We are deeply sorry. Our police..."

Alex interrupts,

"Well, Director Lu, we all know clearly whether it was a accidently mistake or not, don't we?"
